Hello. It seems that Google has created a way of "dealing with" Firefox's automatic removal of the page seeking one's acceptance or rejection of cookies. Each time I refresh the page, the accept/reject cookies pop-up briefly flicks on-screen but then disappears and one is back at the consent page:

https://consent.google.com/m?continue=https://maps.google.com/maps&gl=GB&m=0&pc=m&uxe=eomtm&cm=2&hl=en&src=1

So as things are, I cannot access the consent page to either reject or accept the cookies, and therefore I cannot get past the consent page and into googlemaps.

Google may be aware of Firefox's way of "dealing with" the consent page and has found a way of making it impossible for people to proceed to use of the googlemaps website.

Chosen solution

Firefox 115 doesn't have the Cookie Banner Blocker.

Try clearing site cookies and disabling Tracking Protection for the site.

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?

Thank you, @zeroknight.

I didn't know about "Troubleshoot Mode". Thanks for giving me the link to info about it. In that mode the problem did not occur.

So I considered whether "Ghostery", tracking-blocker, might be responsible, although the problem has never occurred before and I have been using "Ghostery" for years. Anyway, I disabled "Ghostery" for the googlemaps.co.uk website, and the problem did not occur.

Thank you for solving the problem!
